So they didn't know any words when you got them? Both of my birds know their
names . My Grey calls my husband "guy" for reasons I can't fathom , she
calls me " hey you" and she knows the dogs names and calls Casperella by
name. She uses names in an appropriate manner.

Neither said a word when we got them, its taken them a while to say hello
clearly but the wolf whistle was learnt very quickly. I think thats because
most of my birds wolf whistle.

My Pepper (8 month old TAG) began talking a little bit about 2 months ago, but
before then, he'd already learned various whistles from both me and my
cockatiel. Pepper is starting to use many words in context - he's especially
good with "hello" or "hi". Most of his other talking is limited to what
I'd call "baby talk"...
